Dust Bowl recovery and Dust Bowl era programs
The 1930s Dust Bowl destroyed millions of acres of arable land, prompting soil experts to note extensive damage. The Civilian Conservation Corps began in 1933, enlisting 300,000 youths, the forest service planted a shelterbelt, and soil conservation rules limited grazing as efforts gradually revived livable land while losses remained immense.
